    • About Me

      I struggle with fibromyalgia, CFS and clinical depression. I have an awesome husband, two grown sons and a lovely daughter-in-law. I stay busy working as a medical technologist at a large hospital and volunteering for a local ferret rescue, as well as taking care of my own ferrets. Ferrets have been an amazing therapy for me. They make me laugh every day and remind me to be in the moment!

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have fibromyalgia. Looking for support, friends and information.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Cymbalta works great for me. Helps with pain and depression. Tried weaning off and going on Savella instead, but didn't work.
      Lyrica Somewhat Helpful
      Helped me some, but the side effects were not worth it.
      Vitamin B12 Not Working
      Doesn't do a thing.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I suffer from clinical depression, along with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Looking for friendship and support.

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      Amazing!
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Worked for the pain pretty well. Kept needing to increase the dosage for the depression, though.
      Paxil Not Working
      Evil pill.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      If I can stay positive, it helps. Not always easy!!
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Worked for a while. Not great for me.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Being loved and loving back is very healing!
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Worked for several years, but then no longer was effective.
      Writing Working / Worked
      It helps me a lot to write.
      Art Working / Worked
      Photography helps me express what I cant put into words. Sewing relaxes me.
    • Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I have CFS, along with fibromyalgia and clinical depression. Looking for friendship, support and information.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Worked for the pain and depression. Not so much for fatigue.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Took for RLS and it worked for that.
      Paxil Not Working
      Bad.
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      Too much exercise increases the pain and fatigue. Still looking for a good balance.
